West Indies tour of Australia, November-December 2009

ahhahah owned by Gayle, got to love the guy.

Gayle dismisses Hauritz's spin qualities | Cricket News | Australia v West Indies 2009/10 | Cricinfo.com

No surprises there, Hauritz is far from being a world class spinner. The real headline would have been "Gayle bamboozled by Hauritz" not "Gayle not worried about sh!t Aussie spinner who barely got picked by his own domestic side"

It makes it even worse when the guy dissing your spin ability doesn't spin the ball at all and just bowls darts.

Hmm

Geeves called as Siddle's standby | Cricket News | Australia v West Indies 2009/10 | Cricinfo.com

Does this mean that they may be looking at a four-prong seam attack?

Wouldn't McKay be in ahead of Geeves?

 

[ajdude]

Yeah, but why would they call up Geeves? They have the one backup, maybe they were planning on bringing McKay in for Hauritz if Siddle was fit?

The title is misleading, McKay will replace Siddle (I hope). Geeves is just there to make up the numbers (12) if Siddle pulls out.

 

[ajdude]

Yeah I'm fair hoping as well, no use playing Siddle if he can only bowl 10 half arsed overs per innings. I wouldn't mind seeing a four-prong pace attack, though that hasn't worked in the recent past. (Ashes 09, Perth vs. India)

 

[aussie1st]

The 4 prong pace attack is the only reason I can see for Geeves unless someone else is injured. McKay surely will come in for Siddle if hes out.

 

[ajdude]

Shiv's in doubt too after dislocating his finger in Adelaide.

Chanderpaul in doubt for WACA Test - Cricket - Fox Sports

I'd still rather roll the dice to Stuart Clark if Siddle were to be in doubt.

 

[aussie1st]

Clark is out injured as well and hes not due back until the new year.

 

[iridescentt]

Crap. Your right, forgot about that - don't know how

Bring in an extra batsman and get Hussey to bowl again I say!

Roach wants to clock 155kph | Cricket News | Australia v West Indies 2009/10 | Cricinfo.com

That might be fun to watch.

Roach's speed doesn't scare Australia | Cricket News | Australia v West Indies 2009/10 | Cricinfo.com

Roach is over rated.

 

[piriyanth]

^^This.

He should focus on getting wickets first. He only took 4 wickets in this series with the average of 58.75, which is nowhere good enough.

 

[Iridium]

No point in bowling fast if you bowl at 155 kph but you have a big fat 0 in the wickets column. Also I hope Chanderpaul plays. Its a treat to watch him bat and the Windies just seem that much more fragile without him.

It kinda doesn't make sense because Hauritz has done his job so far. Gayle's batsmen have been the ones giving Hauritz wickets and his bowlers haven't really been able to match him.
